Ecospirituality signifies spiritual evolution in consequence of one's response to ecological stimuli. Mamang Dai is a powerful tribal voice from the North East India who has explored in depth the theme of Ecospirituality in her books. The article explicates those ecological attributes manifested in Dai's works which form an integral part of the spiritual voyage of her characters. In an attempt to define the term 'Ecospirituality,' a review of existing literature has been placed at the beginning which is followed by discourse analysis of the five works of fiction which Dai has to her credit. All the arguments put forth in the article are substantiated by textual evidence from her books. The analysis of the said texts is followed by a conclusion suggesting a way forward. The present study examines the elements of Ecospirituality in Dai's 'fictional' works alone hence the exclusion of her books of non-fiction. It shows how a slew of ecospiritual elements are identifiable in the fictional outputs of Dai and yet the theme demands more elaborate treatment due to the advent of new theoretical constructs.

东北保卫氏族的母狮：戴麻芒小说中的生态精神元素研究

生态灵性意味着一个人对生态刺激的反应所导致的精神进化。Mamang Dai 是来自印度东北部的强大部落声音，她在她的书中深入探讨了生态精神的主题。文章阐释了戴的作品中表现出的生态属性，这些生态属性构成了她人物精神之旅的一个组成部分。为了定义“生态精神”一词，首先对现有文献进行了回顾，然后是对戴所称赞的五部小说作品的话语分析。文章中提出的所有论点都得到了她书中的文字证据的证实。对上述文本的分析之后是一个建议前进方向的结论。本研究仅考察戴的“虚构”作品中的生态精神元素，因此排除了她的非虚构作品。它展示了如何在 Dai 的虚构输出中识别大量生态精神元素，但由于新理论结构的出现，主题需要更精细的处理。
